The combination of Leftist and Islamic Jew-hatred is creating a particularly threatening environment for Jewish and pro-Israeli students.
This poster seen today on campus depicts all Israelis as skunks.
If any other group was depicted as animals, the school would have already called the @FBI to investigate.

The National Socialists called Jews “vermin” and presented their mass murder of them as a purification of Germany, and of Europe in general. The people behind these posters aren’t far from that.
“Antisemitic poster of skunk with Star of David plastered across Columbia University: ‘Villainizes Jewish and Israeli students,’” by Aneeta Bhole, New York Post, February 6, 2024:
An antisemitic flier depicting a skunk in the white and blue of the Israeli flag and a Star of David has surfaced on Columbia University’s campus, sparking outrage among the Jewish community.
The poster “villainizes Jewish and Israeli students on campus and fosters an increasingly hostile environment,” according to the Anti-Defamation League for New York and New Jersey, who blasted the Columbia administration for not taking action to stop it sooner on X.
The skunk depiction has been likened to Nazi propaganda posters used during World War II — which dehumanized the Jewish community and compared them to vermin.
“That skunk poster evokes classic antisemitic tropes that are instantly familiar to anyone who has seen Nazi propaganda,” the director of programming and strategy at End Jew Hatred Michelle Ahdoot told the Post.
The post was highlighted by Shai Davidai, an Assistant Professor at Columbia’s business school.
“This poster seen today on campus depicts all Israelis as skunks. If any other group was depicted as animals, the school would have already called the FBI to investigate,” he wrote on X.
“What’s next? All Jews are vermin? Columbia University – what the f*** are you waiting for?”
A Columbia University spokesperson told the Post that the posters were found on campus this past week and were deemed “abhorrent and antisemitic” by the administration.
“As soon as the University learned of them, they were removed and a report was filed under the University’s anti-discrimination policies,” a statement from Columbia continued.
It remains unclear who made the poster which reads — “Beware! Skunk on Campus. Brought to you in collaboration by Columbia University and the IDF,” referring to the Israel Defense Forces, who are currently battling Hamas in Gaza, causing tensions between Muslims and Jewish people to rise around the globe….

All it takes is one person to print and post these flyers. Nobody or organization will be loved by everybody.
though I believe if the poster condemned Palestinians the FBI would be called in immediately to investigate the “crime” and it would be on National TV news broadcasts as a racial hate crime of the first magnitude.

Well, yeah. Imagine if there was a poster there saying, “Swine on campus” and showing a herd of pigs with crescents on them. The FBI would probably be called in.

The campus paper, Daily Spectator, has nothing on this. I have sent the NY Post article to them via their tip line. Maybe I should request a reward from them.

Were I a Jewish person on the Columbia campus, I would speak up and tell the anti-Semites that they are more like a redback spider of Australia. If one does not bother a skunk, it will not bother you but a redback will sting with a deadly venom just because you are in the vicinity and will invade your patio furniture. I think that a little humour would go a long way and make the point clear.

The Skunk is a new one but all in all it looks no different than (search) Nazi Germany antisemitic graphics. That is troubling to me, because, who knows with whom or where Nazis would stop in their one size fits all, fascism.
Strangely enough, or not. If you understand, or research it, islam, is compatible with fascism. Very.

Something a lot of people don’t know: many Nazis, including one of Hitler’s academics, one Johann Von Leers, greatly admired Islam; and after the Third Reich fell, many Nazis scuttled off to the Middle East and were there embraced with open arms… and most of them happily embraced Islam, all the better to go on hating and trying to kill Jews.
John Roy Carlson (nom de plume), a brilliant Armenian-American undercover reporter of the old-fashioned kind, went undercover in the middle east in 1947/48; and by pretending to be a pro-Nazi, he gained an ‘in’ with the assorted Jihadi mobsters who were getting ready to attack the nascent Jewish state, and was able to interview and observe them. In Egypt he even scored a personal interview with Hassan al-Banna, one of the head honchos of the Muslim Brotherhood (he describes Al-Banna as one of the most loathsome people he had ever met.. and that’s saying something, because Carlson had previously done undercover reporting amonst pro-Nazi networks in the USA, early in WWII, where he met lots of thoroughly evil, weird, horrible people). In Gaza – yup, Gaza – and in other places such as Syria he *met* escaped Nazis who were acting as military advisers and assistants to the Mohammedans, and were cheering them on.
Any person reading here who has not yet read Carlson’s “Cairo to Damascus” is strongly encouraged to do so, because it provides a *brilliant* backgrounder to present-day events.
One thing it also exposes pretty extensively is that the violent, sadistic bloodthirstiness and rabid Jew-hatred displayed by Hamas’ jihad raiders in southern Israel, is NOT a new thing; it was blatantly on display amongst the Mohammedan jihadis he encountered in Egypt and on the borders of today’s Israel.

It looks like the Jews will have to build and create their own university. And be very careful about who they admit to their college.
Walter Sieruk says
The people who made and up those posters up are only exposing their own Nazi mentally.
Rarely says
“only” ??? As if it’s minor.

How strange that the current Useful Idiot Generation across the Western World are acting today when we see young girls marching alongside young muslim men supporting the thugs that raped and beheaded young girls just like them and yet they are denigrating the men that hunt down these rapist savages.
The IDF have not raped or beheaded anybody, male, female or baby and The Left went nucking futs when the IDF captured a bunch of Hamas barbarians and had them all sitting on the ground in their underwear.
